I found this vintage  Diane von Fürstenberg dress in a small local thrift shop. It was my first time going in and I'm glad I stumbled upon it. I found so many great pieces but I put them all back except for the dress. I snatched it up without trying it on. I had V with me and she was fading fast…

As I sit on my couch watching television, I'm remembering last Friday's much needed night out. It's a week later and I'm still thinking about it. Girl's nights out are so much sweeter now. I savor them all. Post-baby I can count on one hand how many times I've experienced th…

Thrifting Thursday: All Black with a Bow

V and I went to a meetup at Kookaburra today. I wanted to be comfortable while scooting around on the floor and following V around. The shorts are from the epic thrift haul with BFF and I recently bought the sweater over the weekend. The bow is a scarf I thrifted a long long time ago. During the epi…

Thrifting Thursday: Purple Pattern Mixing

Button up shirts don't normally work for me because of the ironing involved. I rarely iron anymore even though I kinda like it. It relaxes me. I offered it to my shopping BFF girlgetalife. She put it in the cart but nixed it when it was time to re-evaluate purchases before hitting the register…

Last week V had her 12 month pediatrician visit. This was her first time with a new ped too.

The pediatrician sugg…

Thrifting Thursday: DIY Leopard Loafers

I found these buttery soft Nordstrom loafers last week at the Salvation Army. They were $2. The color wasn't my favorite but I loved how soft the leather felt and they were in really good condition. While I was thinking of what I could do to spruce them up, I found and re-pinned these Steve Ma…
